I am a newbie trying to construct shelves in my garage out of Dakota 3/4" X 15 1/2" X 48" pre finished Shelving..

1 Will the Kreg jig work on this 3/4" Particle/Mdf type material

2. If glue is necessary, where and and how?

3. Can I use a Router on MDF material.?

Thank you

Yes, Ron, the Kreg Jig® is designed to work with materials from 1/2" to 1 1/2" thick. When working with particleboard and/or MDF, be sure to use coarse-thread screws. For 3/4" material, you will want to use 1 1/4" Kreg screws. Learn more on our website. You may also get in touch with Technical Support at 800-447-8638 or technicalsupport@kregtool.com with any further questions. They are very knowledgeable and will be more than happy to offer you their best advice. Thanks!

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
